I don't think this woman understands how surrogacy works. Her acting like a judge to see if the dad is "worthy" of the baby is wrong. She relinquished any parental claims on that child before she even conceived.
True but she is the biological mother too.
That's like saying teens giving up their babies for adoption shouldn't want them to go to good homes.
Being a surrogate and giving the kid up for adoption are different. When you give someone up for adoption it is because you could not take care of them. When you surrogate, it's something you sign a contract for. You are willingly lending your womb to conceive someone else's child. You give up any parental claims for the baby. It is merely a highrisk job. In most countries, you get paid handsomely for it. I have a friend who is a surrogate and she gets paid more than 20k USD for it. If you are going to be a surrogate, you cannot feel affection for the baby you are carrying. If you can't do it, then don't be a surrogate.
It's not your baby. It's someone else's baby that you are agreeing (and usually getting paid) to carry. In more developed countries, the surrogacy is handled by a company that screens the surrogates and the families. In general, it's a very formal process though this manga doesn't get deep into that. Teens giving up their babies for adoption is a whole different context because they didn't willingly get pregnant. Being a surrogate you go through a legal process to get artificially inseminated for someone else. It is a conscious decision. When you rent a house you have some rent rules (like no illegal activities in the property) and you do a screening before you rent out the place. However, that does not give you the right to invade the people you are renting to afterwards to see if they're "worthy". You already made the decision. If you are renting your oven, then you cannot change your mind halfway through and claim the kid. The womb is yours, but the kid is not.
I'm tired of them stereotype shoujo MC. The whole ditzy+feminine+clumsy+crybaby+kind+weak female leads have gotten old. Given that shoujo is predominantly written by women, I wish the main characters were more dynamic and not just this copy-and-paste type of character you can find anywhere.
For real. I wouldn't even mind that shes weak if she had an interesting background. But no, it's just cause she's a girl so therefore she's automatically frail asf.
Ya I'm tired of females being portrayed like they fucking paper by women and like they only either goody two shoes, tsunderes, or sex symbols by men. It's not interesting.
Tis fiction and they're a cute couple but remember that having sex in real life with a drunk/intoxicated person is rape even if they're your significant other.

nu, sailor mars
Not that I disagree with u. But if 2 people are drunk but still have the capacity to understand what's going on and are not completely wasted that they literally don't know what's going on, then for me it's fine. They should be able to check in every once in a while to ask if it's ok, and if one party says no midway, the other party should stop. I feel like drunk sex is fine if consent can still be given and understood. On the other hand, if one party is too drunk to know what's going on or too drunk to give consent in their right mind and the other party takes advantage of that... I feel that's wrong. I can't tell in this situation tho, I'd personally just avoid doing things if I'm not sure and just take care of them till they sober up.
Ok but how can you measure when someone is completely wasted vs drunk and ok? How can you put that into legislation? A lot of people would take advantage of such a thing and justify their rape by saying "Oh but he looked like he was ok and not completely wasted". Even for you yourself, if you are drunk and the other person is drunk even if you're not completely wasted your judgement is clouded. Neither would be wiser to be able to check if the other person is fine with it or to be able to give consent. That'll just lead to regret. You cannot measure things by "too drunk" or "little drunk" cause that's subjective. You are either sober or intoxicated.
Fair point. Once your judgment is clouded you end up doing stuff you really wouldn't do even if you think you know what you're doing. I know cuz I'm the type that gets really "bold" when intoxicated. I just brought up this topic cuz well this kinda thing happens a lot and some people even use this as an excuse to justify their actions like, "sorry I can't remember I was drunk". And after that the issue is swept under the rug cuz most people don't think it's wrong. Like it's a normal thing. I know this topic is quite controversial. Just wanted to know if people believed in a "middle ground", but your argument convinced me. I don't think there is a "middle ground" to this.
Sometimes in life you have to be bitchy. No one will say shit like that to someone who'll snap the shit back at them. If words aint your forte then at least punch them asshats on the nose.
lol "carida" xD
Oh lol here I thought they were trying to say cariño or something like that, but that makes more sense
I think they got it mixed up with the italian cara
Either that or Trump's tweeted "Carona Virus." See Parody Project's "My Carona!"
Lmao, we will never be sure
Oh yeah. By the way - Almost a new low in dumb, as far as plot, characters, and believability.
Tbh I don't like either Estelle or Emiel. Their characters are both bland. Estelle hasn't had any character growth whatsoever. I couldn't care less about this ship :v
The plot sounds crappy but the female lead is great <3
So maybe King Il was against Yona and Soo Won being together because he knew Soo Won was sick and would die young.
The ending felt rushed. The whole thing with Corell and Aleph seemed forced. Also, I think a chapter with Aleph's backstory or pov was needed. There are some inconsistencies with his character and he is never really explained. The whole situation with Kallum's sister in particular was kind of just thrown in there and not properly explained. I hope there are extra chapters. Overall the story was nice though.
